Samsung's concept of a 4K 3D display that doesn't require glasses has been transformed into a gaming screen you can buy.

We got a quick look at an early concept version during the CES show back in January. Samsung has launched the product in its real form. The Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming screen is now available.

Jacob has already explained that the new Samsung Odyssey 3D's main attraction is the stereoscopic 3D images without the need for glasses. The Odyssey 3D does this with a technology called Light Field Display (LFD). It combines a lenticular with two eye-tracking cameras and some clever algorithms.

The display sends a slightly different picture to each eye. This creates a 3D effect without the use of glasses. Samsung claims that the displays will seamlessly switch between 2D mode and 3D mode and be available in a 27-inch size and a novel 37 inch panel size, which we've never seen before.

Both models feature full 4K resolution with a 1 ms reaction time and 165 Hz refresh rate. Samsung has released specs for its latest models, including FreeSync Premium and DisplayPort 1.4. Two HDMI 2.1 ports are also included.

Samsung hasn't provided any additional specs, but the 1ms reaction time is enough to confirm that these are LCD panels and not OLED. Samsung isn't announcing any fancy local dimming capabilities on these monitors. The level of HDR is still open to debate.

Jacob had only five minutes to view the display at CES. He wasn't convinced by the 3D effect.

"For the majority of the time, the game world appears on one plane while your character appears on another, closer to the player." Jacob said that, "occasionally during my brief experience with this tech, I would spot a branch or sign reaching out towards me."

Samsung will have refined its product in the interim, so the final experience could be different. At the time, it wasn't known if Samsung would launch the monitor or if it would be a concept.

We know now that you will be able to purchase it, even though the price has not been revealed. This leaves us with two questions. This is not the first time that the display industry has tried to create stereoscopic 3-D. Several attempts, including Nvidia 3D Vision, have been made in the past. All have failed.

Will the Samsung Odyssey 3D differ? For now, I'm skeptical. The other open issue is whether the 37-inch panel used in the larger model of the two models could be used in another non-3D screen.

37-inch 4K panels are a format we haven't seen before. They could be a good compromise between size and resolution. 40-inch TVs and larger are too large for ergonomic desktop use. Ironically, if 3D fails to take off, this could be the most interesting product announcement. Again. Watch this space
